Heated vest or jacket: a simple buyer’s comparison

Both heated vests and heated jackets add active warmth, but they are not used in the same way. A vest is flexible and easy to layer; a jacket gives more coverage.

Best reasons to choose a vest

Choose a heated vest if you want core warmth, free arm movement and a layer that works under your current coat.

Best reasons to choose a jacket

Choose a heated jacket if you want arm warmth too, spend long periods outside or prefer one warmer outer garment.

Best first buy

For most Irish customers, a heated bodywarmer is the best starting point because it handles everyday cold, commuting and outdoor hobbies well.

So the heater can be turned off

So I thought heated vests were much more expensive, but thankfully, thanks to you, that's not the case. It's very comfortable and heats up quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who spends all day outside in the cold. I should have bought it thirty years ago.

I had problems with the delivery

I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now. It warms up quickly, and the extra patches are perfect! This will get me through the winter! I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now....

Nice warm body warmer

The bodywarmer looks great and is nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too tight, but I sent an email and it's being exchanged for a larger size. Excellent service. So nice and warm all winter long.

More effective than turning the heating up a degree

I bought the Høgge body warmer for both me and my husband. It's been the best purchase for keeping us nice and warm. Whether it's walking, gardening, or just because you're feeling cold, this fantastic body warmer solves all of that. Highly recommended and more effective than turning up the heat.

An Ode to Gløde!

After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for indoor riding, and it's fantastic too! The elastic sides ensure a perfect fit and allow for plenty of freedom of movement. The control panels are on the outside, making it very easy to adjust the temperature on the go. When riding warm and relaxed, it's very pleasant to have the heater on. After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for...

Very happy with the bodywarmer

I'm very happy with the body warmer; it's easy and chic to wear over my sweater, but it also works under a jacket. I'm very happy with it.
